Hello,
I am a Boston area writer, specializing in free-verse poetry and lyrics, with a lot of Boston imagery. I have recently self-published a collection of 13 years worth of poems, lyrics, and memoirs called “39″ which is a look back on the first 39 years. I was wondering if you might be interested in picking up a handful of copies on consignment and taking it from there.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi John, thanks for the comment! We don’t actually sell zines, we are a library. If you’d like to donate a couple of issues, that would be great. Otherwise, I’m not sure we can help you out.
Thanks!

I love your site and admire what you have going there in MA. Next time I’m in town, I’d like to see the collection.
p.s. I was just noticing that some of your “resources” links aren’t working.
